	" It is hard to think of any previous age in which there has been this kind of absence of piety - piety took different forms, but it has never before been completely abandoned. Our age has abandoned it and that is why so many things become incomprehensible, and therefore cannot be spoken about. "		Ian Hamilton Finlay
